Ubuntu 11.04 reaches its end of life

Ubuntu Release Manager Kate Stewart has announced that Ubuntu 11.04, code-named "Natty Narwhal", reached its end of life yesterday, 28 October. This means that no new updates, including security updates and critical fixes, will be made available for version 11.04 of Canonical's Linux distribution.

Released in April 2011, Natty Narwhal was based on the 2.6.38.2 Linux kernel and was the first version of Ubuntu to replace the GNOME Shell with Unity as its default desktop environment. Firefox 4.0, version 3.3.2 of the LibreOffice productivity suite and Banshee 2.0 were among the bundled default applications.
